7 Last Chance Zany Zebras Projects + Cut Apart Card Video Tutorial

Yesterday, I shared the Zany Zebras Easel Card and it reminded me of the Zany Zebras Cut Apart Card that I made in the fall that I never posted. I made this monochromatic card in several of the In Colors. Which color do you like best: Misty Moonlight, Just Jade, or Magenta Madness?

VIDEO: Zany Zebras Easel Card Tutorial

Did you catch Thursday Night Stamp Therapy last night? I shared three cards, including an Easel Card using the retiring Zany Zebras stamp set.  Easel Cards as quick and easy and a fun way to display your hand-stamped art.

Beautiful Friendship Sneak Peek + Stampin' Creative Blog Hop


Welcome to the Stampin’ Creative Global Blog Hop! Currently you are visiting Julie Davison from the middle of the United States (Central Illinois to be exact!).
This month, my friends from around the world and I are sharing projects inspired by the same card sketch. You know I love a good card layout!

I used brand new products for my card this month! One of my favorite perks of being a demonstrator is getting to pre-order new product, so I couldn't resist creating with one of my new favorites -- the Beauty of the Earth Suites.
Stampin' Up! Sneak Peek ~ Beauty of the Earth Suite ~ Beautiful Friendship Card ~ 2021-2022 Annual Catalog ~ www.juliedavison.com

I expanded my "ribbon" at the bottom to include a strip of designer paper, but otherwise stuck pretty true to the original sketch. The Beautiful Trees dies are so dynamic. You can die cut the stamped image or use the detailed dies to create a larger tree like this one. I die cut the larger tree top in sold Mossy Meadow cardstock and then added the detailed leaves die cut from the designer paper (same pattern as the background). I used Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to add the leaves.

The Beauty of the Earth Suite will launch next week in the new Annual Catalog. Be sure to come back for more project ideas using this Suite, including a "Quick Look" video!

That's all from me today! Thank you for visiting! For now, it's time to carry on with the blog hop and see what other amazing projects my Stampin' friends from around the world have created using this same card layout!

Last Chance Favorite: 4 Easy Cards with Stitched Nested Labels Dies

I've been highlighting my favorite Last Chance products over the last month. One of my favorites isn't one of the crazy-good deals, but it is on sale for 20% off! There's only one week left to get your favorites before they are gone, so I had to give mine one last hurrah! The Stitched Nested Labels Dies are so versatile and these easy card ideas will have you turning to them again and again! 
Last Chance Favorites: Stitched Nested Labels Dies Cards + VIDEO ~ www.juliedavison.com #stampinup

The first card set of cards uses one of my favorite layouts that is so easy with nested dies like these. I cut a large opening from designer paper and then added a smaller die cut label with the sentiment in the center. You may remember this layout that shared back in 2019. See More Cards
Last Chance Favorites: Stitched Nested Labels Dies Cards + VIDEO ~ Ridiculously Awesome stamp set + Flowers for Every Season DSP ~ www.juliedavison.com #stampinup

In hindsight, I wish that I had made the designer paper a little bigger (4" x 5-1/4" instead of 3-3/4" x 5"), but you can still see plenty of the pattern. Of course, you can create this card layout with ANY designer paper, but I'm a fan of the retiring Flowers for Every Season! The sentiment is from the retiring Ridiculously Awesome stamp set. 
 
The next card didn't turn out exactly as I had planned. I feel like there is too much "white space" on the label that I didn't fill well enough. I did add some Rhinestones after the video. How would you change this card? Would you add more butterflies? Or maybe a background image under the butterflies? See More Flap Fold Cards.

This next card layout is a great way to use coordinating designer paper. You'll need three 1-1/2" x 5" strips of paper plus a label for the sentiment. See More Triple Banner Cards

I used the Hydrangea Haven Designer Paper with the retiring Beautiful Friendship stamp set for this card. I really love the color combination of Purple Posy, Highland Heather, and Misty Moonlight!
